In the early spring, it was still a little cold in the evening

The blood red of the slanting sun on the horizon seemed to be about to drip blood, shining a red picture of the four fields.

The courtyard was sprinkled with bits of residual sun, shining the man's clean face red, so that people felt a little like a dream, but they couldn't refute what the other party said.

Li Zhutou did start to doubt Xu Shangzhen from the moment he pushed the door in.

First, there are not many people who know where Zhang Quan is being held, and secondly, as this Lin Qianhu said, everyone in the yamen has alibi evidence, but Xu Shangzhen is the only one at the scene.

In fact, it is said that it is in the past, because he did faint and did not fake, but if Lin Qianhu said, with Xu Shangzhen's experience over the years, he would definitely not be scared out because of this small scene.

So after Xu Shangzhen woke up, he asked a few seemingly inconsequential questions, but there were all kinds of meanings, but unfortunately the other party's answer was really untenable.

The so-called whether there was any injury on his body, he suspected that Xu Shangzhen fainted because of fright, but Xu Shangzhen was not injured, and he insisted that it was indeed frightened.

So much so that he was asking if he wanted to call Shen Shixing back to test whether Xu Shangzhen really had a problem. According to Xu Shangzhen's character, most of them will not let Shen Shixing, who is far away in the capital, come back.

It's just that his reaction is really a bit excessive, so it can show that he has a ghost in his heart.

However, the other party has always been Xu Shangzhen, who has been very kind to him over the years, even if the other party has all these loopholes, he finally chooses to believe the other party, because these are not full evidence.

It's just that now that he heard Lin Qianhu's words, Li Zhutou's heart gradually wavered, but he has been able to get to this point over the years, and then take a step back and say that he can live to this day and not be starved to death, all because of this Xu Governor.

He has always believed that Xu Shangzhen is a good official who loves the people like a son, although he likes some calligraphy and painting on weekdays, it does not affect his political achievements in Suzhou.

Shen Shixing's biological mother entrusted Shen Shixing to Xu Shangzhen. Xu Shangzhen agreed to adopt, and regarded it as his own for all these years, until the forty-first year of Jiajing, when the other party won the champion.

Xu Shangzhen asked Shen Shixing to change his father's surname back to Shen, and he didn't want him to reciprocate at all.

is such a person, but now it is said that he has become a traitor of the eunuch party, and he has also killed witnesses. It's an incredible thing anyway.

It's just that the facts are in front of you, and all the doubts point to Xu Shangzhen. Now he has the biggest suspicion, no matter how much Li Zhutou believes that he will not do this.

Li Zhutou was silent for a long time, ignored Lin Qianhu, turned around and was about to leave, but he heard Lin Qianhu chuckle behind him, and said, "I just think that Mr. Shen died unjustly like this...... It's really not worth it. ”

Without waiting for Li Zhutou to speak, Lin Qianhu continued: "When the Yan family controlled the government, countless loyal martyrs were killed...... If it weren't for Mr. Shen, I don't know how many people would have suffered...... Let's talk about Suzhou. Most of General Qi's military expenses for fighting the Japanese were Mr. Shen's money...... Now that he is unjustly imprisoned, you can bear to watch him die in prison like this? ”

Li Zhutou let out a long sigh, he still admired Shen Wuyan very much, naturally he couldn't just watch him die unjustly, and the increasingly heavy contradictions in his heart almost made it difficult for him to breathe.

"Mr. Shen's injustice...... I'll definitely find out below...... As for the traitors in the yamen. I will definitely find out ......," Li Zhutou said in a deep voice.

After saying this, he said again: "As for Lin Qianhu...... This is the Yamen of the Suzhou Prefect, not your Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi......"

After saying this, Li Zhutou immediately turned around and left.

Lin Qianhu in the courtyard looked at the figure in the distance blankly, couldn't help but smile, and then took out the embroidered spring knife on his waist and looked at it for a while. He sneered and left.

……

Eunuch Lane, Suzhou Weaving Bureau.

The small pavilion is becoming more and more deserted today, Qi Yao left Suzhou a few days ago and returned to Beijing to resume his life, and he will probably be able to come back today. Now Guizi is the only one left here, but it is also pure.

At least that's what Katsura thinks.

As Qi Yao's cronies, Guizi can be said to be at ease in Suzhou. A few days ago, the Li family was stripped of their imperial merchant qualifications. Now Suzhou is the right imperial businessman, so many silk villages come to visit.

This back and forth, it is naturally not a problem to send silver, and there are countless benefits in it, and Qi Yao has been busy with Shen Wuyan's affairs, but he has no time to take care of them, and these benefits naturally fall into the hands of Guizi.

Now Guizi enjoys this feeling very much, Qi Yao is not in Suzhou, he is the boss, and no one in the entire weaving bureau seems to dare to disobey him.

This happened last year, but it was Junko who enjoyed it like this at the time, and now he has turned to ashes and will never be able to come back to himself again.

Lying lazily on the chaise longue, drinking tea slowly with a teapot in his hand, singing northern tunes softly in his mouth, muttering a sentence or two of prodigal words from time to time, enjoying it.

Looking up at the sunset, Guizi couldn't stop sighing and said, "Shunzi, if it's not my brother, I won't protect you...... I can't blame God, I can only blame you for being stupid......"

Although the words were infinitely regretful, they immediately laughed as soon as they finished speaking, obviously mocking.

"You killed me, and now you call me stupid......"

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, Guizi only felt a chill in his heart, and suddenly heard a familiar voice, so his face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly got up and looked back, there was silence everywhere, and no one appeared.

"I heard it wrong......

With a dry laugh, Guizi was about to sit down, but soon he couldn't sit down, because he had collapsed to the ground, and beads of sweat the size of beans could not stop flowing down his pale face.

A pair of trembling fingers pointed to the corner not far away, and exclaimed, "Ghost ...... Ghost...... There are ghosts......"

Looking in the direction of Guizi's finger, a man like black charcoal stood in the corner of the wall, his facial features were long unrecognizable, and there was black smoke coming from his hair, apparently burned like this.

The black charcoal slowly floated from the corner of the wall to Guizi's side, and said quietly: "I have no enmity with you...... Why did you kill me......"

"I ...... I...... I...... It's all Qi ......" spoke in a hesitant manner, but he always couldn't speak clearly.

After a while, he stopped talking, but let the black charcoal on the side be stunned, couldn't help sighing lightly, glanced at the little eunuch who was already stunned, and hurriedly threw the black charcoal on his body aside.

After a little hair arrangement, a handsome young man was revealed, he frowned slightly, and said with a wry smile: "That's it...... How can you still kill. ”

As he spoke, the young man grabbed Guizi's clothes in one hand, threw them on his shoulders, and slowly left along the wall.

……

Inside the cell.

Shen Wuyan's temper is getting worse and worse these days, and from time to time he will throw many books into the furnace, even though the sky is gradually getting warmer.

Sometimes he doesn't see any people who come to visit, except for Li Wan'er, and even Yue'er he rarely meets.

Today, he was still burning books, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "What news is there in the capital......

Li Zhutou, who was standing in front of the cell door, was silent for a long time and did not answer Shen Wuyan's question.

Shen Wuyan was immediately annoyed, and shouted angrily: "It's nothing more than a beheading after the autumn...... Will it affect the family...... I don't have a word, I can't let Wan'er and them suffer. ”

"There's really no way?" Li Zhutou couldn't help asking.

Shen Wuyan smiled bitterly and said softly, "In the end, the people who can prove my confession are all dead...... How else to play......"

Li Zhutou took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "This matter is all because of my negligence...... I am willing to give Mr. Shen his life. ”

Shen Wuyan's face changed slightly, and then he said angrily: "What kind of life are you...... Are you stupid...... Take good care of my family...... That's the best explanation for me. ”

Li Zhutou nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Shen rest assured...... I will definitely investigate this case and find out ......."

"Find out the traitor of the Yamen?" Shen Wuyan suddenly sneered and said, "If you are forever entangled in this matter, then you will never be able to find out this case...... Actually, you and I know the facts very well, but the reason why it has become so difficult now is because we think too much. ”

After a little hesitation, Shen Wuyan said again: "Just go home and stay, this case is over......

Saying this, Shen Wuyan stepped forward to hold Li Zhutou's hand and laughed, "Take care of my family......"

Li Zhutou's face changed slightly, but he looked at Shen Wuyan with a solemn face, so he hurriedly regained his expression, and after a long time, he clenched his fists tightly and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Shen rest assured." ”

Looking at Li Zhutou, who was still in tears in the distance, Shen Wuyan couldn't help but smile, but it was a sincere smile.

Leaning back on the chair slightly, pinching the fruit and stuffing it into his mouth, he couldn't see what he was thinking in his eyes, he simply looked at the darkness, and only smiled bitterly for a long time, and said: "Jiajing is in the spring of forty years, come to Daming...... So far, it's interesting. ”

My mind went back to that early morning a few years ago, when I pushed the door, the bamboo in the garden was full of trees, and the girl with tears in her eyes.

Over the years, I have seen a lot of tearful people, such as Xu Wei, Wang Shizhen, or the king of a country, in short, it is not the same, until now I see this sweating and tearing, Shen Wuyan can't help but be moved.

Probably what the other party is engaged in is a little similar to his own back then, so he can feel the despair of the other party more and more, but the rules of the game are like this, what can be.

Smiled stupidly, Shen Wuyan suddenly muttered again: "Hemingway said that this world is very beautiful, and we should strive for it, and I agree with the second half of the sentence." ”

Saying this, Shen Wuyan suddenly felt that someone was coming, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that he was also an acquaintance, so he hurriedly got up, hugged his fist at the visitor, and said, "You haven't come to me for so long...... Presumably have other plans? ”

The man showed a helpless smile, shook his head and said, "I didn't come here, I didn't want to look at you like this...... If I hadn't brought you back at that time, you would have been at ease in Liaodong now. (To be continued.)
